MrEarl Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 While a little too "far out" for me, can you imagine the man hours spent on this car. Not to mention the dollars. One thing I do like is the silver/gray paint with all the chrome. The portholes are actually air inlets with copper screens. The chose to hide the turbo?

JohnD1956 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It is a sweet thing though. I like the exhaust tip concept. And I also like that it still has a Buick heart and soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hector Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I agree with John,I'm sure glad that Trepanier kept the Nailhead in it.Good to see an all out modified Buick built with Buick power,most that I've seen have other brand engines in them.Thanks for posting it Mr.Earl.

hotrod1940 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The only thing I would do is add Skylark wires and I would be happy. I saw it at this years Autorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

421-6speed Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That is one impressive Buick... Thanks For Posting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Very cool looking car except for the "wagon wheels". I've never been a fan of over sized wheels with rubber band treads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 54fins Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I second the motion. The build is superb- all the cool stuff that let's face it, we all would like in a 50's Buick and even the nailhead. But I'm over 50, the tail end of the old school of cars. I just never quite bought into the low profile rims and I still like a little ground clearance. But this is all the cool stuff and you about have to go with the latest trends on the wheels. I still like whitewalls and the young folk don't quite get it. Give it 20 years and they will be back in style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
